four / have you fallen for me yet?

"Will you be more comfortable if we let your hair down?" His hairstylist asked while straightening his long hair.

Beomgyu stared at himself in front of the mirror, simply entertaining himself by watching his crew make him pretty. He grinned and nodded, "That will be much better, Yeji."

Yeji continued what she's doing and glanced at him through the mirror, "It's been quite awhile since you've been invited as a guest to a variety show, how 'bout we have a drink after the shoot? We should celebrate."

Beomgyu's eyes sparkled at the idea, "Yes, let's do that! It's been a long time since we had a drink together. It's like we're not friends anymore."

Yeji smiled widely, "Whose fault was that? We meet everyday at work yet you've been too focused at it that you barely talked to me."

Beomgyu chuckled, "Alright, it's my fault."

"But these days, you seem distracted," Yeji commented, straightening the last part of his hair.

"Am I?"

Yeji hummed, "You often space out. What are you thinking?"

There it was, a single person invading his mind again.

It's been two months since he last met Taehyun.

Was it a relief? Heck, yeah. Not seeing Taehyun means zero awkward encounters, less humiliation moments, and no more worrying about getting flustered.

But why can't he leave his mind at peace?

He's been going back at the time they last talked. Beomgyu was still wondering what happened when he got drunk but Taehyun kept reassuring him that he's got nothing to worry about.

After Taehyun said those words, Beomgyu no longer think about it. He decided to make no effort on remembering it.

It's what Taehyun said before he leaves that bothered him.

"Won't you give me a goodbye kiss?"

Kiss.

Kiss.

KISS?!

That one word was enough to bring back some parts of his drunk memories.

Taehyun's arms were snaking around his waist while Beomgyu was clutching on his sleeves. Their faces were close to each other.

He remembered staring at Taehyun's lips for so long.

And then, he leaned closer.

Why did he remember himself leaning in for a kiss?!

It's been bugging him for weeks and even though he's relieved not seeing Taehyun, he knew he needs to meet him.

"See? You're spacing out again," Yeji voiced out, bringing him back at the present time.

Beomgyu looked at her through the mirror, "I'm just stressed but I'm fine."

"You really need a drink."

♥♥♥

Beomgyu and his crew arrived at a beach resort where the filming will take place.

There, he met the casts of the show and the other guests as well. They exchanged a small conversation before they were told by the director on how today's episode will flow.

The casts were nice to him and kept complimenting his show — a reason for him to express his gratitude towards them.

When the shoot was about to start, they were seated at the grainy sand under a tent to shield them from the blazing sun. Today's episode will be all about summer games and that's they're going to play.
